Trump and Existential Christian Fear

[UNI88]

Immigration visa's peaked in 2016, the only number during Obama's tenure that exceeded Trumps numbers.

From the State Department Site, immigrant visa's for each year since 1996
1996 423,440
1997 416,919
1998 375,683
1999 413,662
2000 413,521
2001 406,080
2002 389,157
2003 364,813
2004 379,426
2005 402,248
2006 449,103
2007 434,412
2008 470,100
2009 468,770
2010 482,053
2011 476,249
2012 482,300
2013 473,143
2014 467,374
2015 531,472
2016 625,344
2017 575,902
2018 550,930

All of those fluctuations have been largely demand based.

I happen to know what was behind the 2016 spike... let’s see if Genius Jelly can figure it out

It's pretty obvious that 2016 was an anomaly and cannot be used as a baseline to show that Trump "slashed" visas.

They never had it to begin with

I don't know beyond myself. I do know they had credibility with me in that I thought they were basically sincere. I defended them many times. And I thought that there was no way Trump could be President because I thought there was NO way White Evangelical Christians would support an atrocity like that.

I had faith in them. Misplaced faith. Well, I mean, my Wife is a White Evangelical Christian and she wasn't like that. As noted before she resigned from her position on the State Republican Central Committee and left the Republican Party because it nominated Trump. But she's a rare exception.

For the most part there is this weird phenomenon by which people who have been preaching about morality for decades have thrown their lot in with a person who is about as immoral and dishonest as immorality and dishonesty get.

If they would quit fuc king children people might quit thinking poorly of them.

The difference is that in "evangelicals" they're going to come to your door and try to talk you into living like they live. If you say '**** off' they just go to the next house. With what's become the mainstream left, they're going to scream you into submission if you dare have a dissenting opinion of how life should be lived. If you say '**** off' they call in Antifa to set you straight.

I think you need to re-examine the crowd you hang out with AZ
in 2017 ANTIFA had an estimated 23,000 members nation wide
which actually made them a slightly smaller group than the number of Neo-Nazis

so about 1 in 140,000 Americans identify themselves as a ANTIFA or a NAZI

Get off of his lawn.
